I thought that Egle sp. always had the parafacial touching, (only two species known in the Netherlands, and both touching), but in the key indeed there are species with parafacial broader. And 26 April is indeed early, but Leucophora i have seen also early (looking for wasp to come out of the ground) Learned again... Joke
